Part of the problem
DEAR DR. BLAKER - I
love my husband very much
but I can’t stand the way he
behaves on the job. It is
embarrassing to be married
to a man with such a weak
spine. He can't stand up to
anyone.
I have tried to help him by
being on the lookout for
situations where he has al-
lowed himself to be pushed
around.
Just the other day he came
home saying that he wanted
‘to take a co-worker out to
lunch because he appreci-
ated the fellow's help on a
special project. I know my
husband did "the lion 's share
of work on that project, yet
he insisted on giving the
credit to someone else. By
the time I finished talking,
he decided to forget about
the lunch.
1 don’t see why he can’t
handle these situations by
himself. After all, I have
never even set foot in the
office but I can understand
the politics there.
Maybe it’s all due to low
self-confidence. Can I do
anything else to help him
feel better about himself?
=?• DEAR READER — Be-
coming the “expert” re-
garding your husband’s job
has probably only com-
pounded his low self-confi-
dence. Now it is not a matter
of “doing” but of “undoing”
the damage.
To turn this potentially
disastrous situation around,
you must first admit to your-
self that you are not the
expert you claim to be.
There is no way you could
possibly know what goes on
in your husband’s office. It
priate it might be tor him to
take his business associate
out to lunch merely as a
gesture of thanks. Since
when is a lunch date neces-
sarily an admission of de-
pendence and total helpless-
ness?
choices
Karen Blaker Ph.D.
your husband is really so
incompetent, how can you_
trust his powers of chserva-
tion to use as the ba„is for
your instant analyses?
You and your husband
have sucked each other into
a fantasy world where there
are only two laws: You are
right. And he is wrong.
Both of you have clouded
your judgment by dwelling
there too long. Take in a big
breath of reality.
Not only has your husband
lost any confidence he might
have had to make his own
decisions, but your own
sense of reality has also
become warped.
Working for so long on the
assumption that your hus-
band is incompetent, you
cannot even see how appro-
You sound more like an
overprotective mother than
a wife. In her zeal to make
certain her son grows up to
be confident and mature,
such a mother supervises
too much of his activity. She
thus keeps him incapable of
handling even the smallest
detailr ~f l';° life
Suicide threats must be
taken seriously. To learn
how to cope with them, order

a Loved One Threatens
Suicide.” Send 50 cents dIus

After prostate surgery
DEAR DR. LAMB — I was
operated on for prostate
gland trouble by a urologist.
I could not urinate at all. He
removed my prostate gland
and operated on my male
tubes. I now have a tube in
my bladder to drain the
urine which will be taken out
in three weeks. I am 68 years
old. What are the chances of
complete recovery of my
urinary organs?
DEAR READER — If you
simply had an enlargement
of the prostate to the point
that it obstructed the flow of
urine from your bladder, the
removal of the prostate
gland may have perma-
nently removed the problem
for you.
The remaining question is
how much damage was done
to your bladder during the
years that it was overex-
tended and stretched prior
to your operation. If your
prostate was removed soon
enough and you didn’t have
prolonged obstruction, you
should have complete recov-
ery of urinary function.
There is some difference
in recovery in relationship to
the kind of surgery that is
done. If the prostate gland is
removed through a surgical
incision, there is a greater
likelihood that a man may
be left with impotence, but if
the prostate gland was
reamed out through the
urethral tube, called a tran-
surethral resection (TUR),
there is a much smaller
chance that it will cause
persistent complications.
It’s common to tie off the
vas deferens, which you call
the male tubes, at the time
of a prostate operation. This
was done years before
vasectomies became popu-
lar for birth control. The
idea is to help protect the
testicles from inflammation,
which sometimes occurs as
a complication of prostatic
surgery.
With this experience, I am
sure you have more interest
than usual in the prostate

TOO MANY PEOPLE
ARE WASTING MONEY
One of the most critical health problems today is the
number of people who are not taking the prescribed
quantity of drug after having their prescriptions rilled.
Non-compliance, as it is called, can result in a lengthened
illness and additional expense to revisit the doctor and to
acquire a new drug supply.
Once you are sick, we urge you to follow your doctors
advice and to use the prescription he gives you exactly as
we dispense it. Don’t waste your money.
YOUR DOCTOR CAN PHONE US when you
need a medicine. Pick up your prescription if
shopping nearby, or we will deliver promptly without
extra charge. A great many people entrust us with
their prescriptions. May we compound yours?
